Worth. Texas 76102. as Lessee. All printed portions of this lease were prepared by the party hereinabove named as Lessee, but all other provisions (including the
completion of blank spaces) were prepared jointly by Lessor and Lessee.
1. In consideration of a cash bonus in hand paid and the covenants herein contained, Lessor hereby grants, leases and lets exclusively to Lessee the following
described land, hereinafter called leased premises:
LOT NINE-R (9R), IN BLOCK THREE (3), ENCHANTED OAKS ADDITION, FIRST INSTALLMENT, AN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF ARLINGTON,
TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS, ACCORDING TO PLAT RECORDED IN BOOK 388-61, PAGE 9, PLAT RECORDS, TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS
in the county of Tarrant. State of TEXAS, containing .2785 gross acres, more or less (including any interests therein which Lessor may hereafter acquire by reversion,
prescription or otherwise), for the purpose of exploring for, developing, producing and marketing oil and gas, along with all hydrocarbon and non hydrocarbon
substances produced in association therewith (including geophysical/seismic operations). The term "gas" as used herein includes helium, carbon dioxide and other
commercial gases, as well as hydrocarbon gases. In addition to the above-described leased premises, this lease also covers accretions and any small strips or parcels of
land now or hereafter owned by Lessor which are contiguous or adjacent to the above-described leased premises, and, in consideration of the aforementioned cash
bonus, Lessor agrees to execute at Lessee's request any additional or supplemental instruments for a more complete or accurate description of the land so covered. For
the purpose of determining the amount of any shut-in royalties hereunder, the number of gross acres above specified shall be deemed correct, whether actually more or
less.
2. This lease, which is a "paid-up" lease requiring no rentals, shall be in force for a primary term of THREE (3) years from the date hereof, and for as long
thereafter as oil or gas or other substances covered hereby are produced in paying quantities from the leased premises or from lands pooled therewith or this lease is
otherwise maintained in effect pursuant to the provisions hereof.
3. Royalties on oil, gas arid other substances produced and saved hereunder shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor as follows: (a) For oil and other liquid hydrocarbons
separated at Lessee's separator facilities, the royalty shall be TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT (25%) of such production, to be delivered at Lessee's option to Lessor at
the wellhead or to Lessor's credit at the oil purchaser's transportation facilities, provided that Lessee shall have the continuing right to purchase such production at the
wellhead market price then prevailing in the same field (or if there is no such price then prevailing in the same field, then in the nearest field in which there is such a
prevailing price) for production of similar grade and gravity; (b) for gas (including casinghead gas) and all other substances covered hereby, the royalty shall be
TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT (25%) of the proceeds realized by Lessee from the sale thereof, less a proportionate part of ad valorem taxes and production, severance,
or other excise taxes and the costs incurred by Lessee in delivering, processing or otherwise marketing such gas or other substances, provided that Lessee shall have the
continuing right to purchase such production at the prevailing wellhead market price paid for production of similar quality in the same field (or if there is no such price
then prevailing in the same field* then in the nearest field in which there is such a prevailing price) pursuant to comparable purchase contracts entered into on the same
or nearest preceding date as the date on which Lessee commences its purchases hereunder; and (c) if at the end of the primary term or any time thereafter one or more
wells on the leased premises or lands pooled therewith are capable of either producing oil or gas or other substances covered hereby in paying quantities or such wells
are waiting on hydraulic fracture stimulation, but such well or wells are either shut-in or production therefrom is not being sold by Lessee, such well or wells shall
nevertheless be deemed to be producing in paying quantities for the purpose of maintaining this lease. If for a period of 90 consecutive days such well or wells are shut-
in or production therefrom is not being sold by Lessee, then Lessee shall pay shut-in royalty of one dollar per acre then covered by this lease, such payment to be made
to Lessor or to Lessor's credit in the depository designated below, on or before the end of said 90-day period and thereafter on or before each anniversary of the end of
said 90-day period while the well or wells are shut-in or production therefrom is not being sold by Lessee; provided (hat if this lease is otherwise being maintained by
operations, or if production is being sold by Lessee from another well or wells on the leased premises or lands pooled therewith, no shut-in royalty shall be due until the
end of the 90-day period next following cessation of such operations or production. Lessee's failure to properly pay shut-in royalty shall render Lessee liable for the
amount due, but shall not operate to terminate this lease.
4. All shut-in royalty payments under this lease shall be paid or tendered to Lessor or to Lessor's credit in at lessor's address above or its successors, which
shall be Lessor's depository agent for receiving payments regardless of changes in the ownership of said land. All payments or tenders may be made in currency, or by
check or by draft and such payments or tenders to Lessor or to the depository by deposit in the US Mails in a stamped envelope addressed to the depository or to the
Lessor at the last address known to Lessee shall constitute proper payment. If the depository should liquidate or be succeeded by another institution, or for any reason
fail or refuse to accept payment hereunder, Lessor shall, at Lessee's request, deliver to Lessee a proper recordable instrument naming another institution as depository
agent to receive payments.
5. Except as provided for in Paragraph 3. above, if Lessee drills a well which is incapable of producing in paying quantities (hereinafter called "dry hole") on the
leased premises or lands pooled therewith, or if all production (whether or not in paying quantities) permanently ceases from any cause, including a revision of unit
boundaries pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 6 or the action of any governmental authority, then in the event this lease is not otherwise being maintained in force
it shall nevertheless remain in force if Lessee commences operations for reworking an existing well or for drilling an additional well or for otherwise obtaining or
restoring production on the leased premises or lands pooled therewith within 90 days after completion of operations on such dry hole or within 90 days after such
cessation of all production. If at the end of the primary term, or at any time thereafter, this lease is not otherwise being maintained in force but Lessee is then engaged
in drilling, reworking or any other operations reasonably calculated to obtain or restore production therefrom, this lease shall remain in force so long as any one or more
of such operations are prosecuted with no cessation of more than 90 consecutive days, and if any such operations result in the production of oil or gas or other
substances covered hereby, as long thereafter as there is production in paying quantities from the leased premises or lands pooled therewith. After completion of a well
capable of producing in paying quantities hereunder, Lessee shall drill such additional wells on the leased premises or lands pooled therewith as a reasonably prudent
operator would drill under the same or similar circumstances to (a) develop the leased premises as to formations then capable of producing in paying quantities on the
leased premises or lands pooled therewith, or (b) to protect the leased premises from uncompensated drainage by any well or wells located on other lands not pooled
therewith. There shall be no covenant to drill exploratory wells or any additional wells except as expressly provided herein.
6. Lessee shall have the right but not the obligation to pool all or any part of the leased premises or interest therein with any other lands or interests, as to any or alt
depths or zones, and as to any £>r all substances covered by this lease, either before or after the commencement of production, whenever Lessee deems it necessary or
proper to do so in order to prudently develop or operate the leased premises, whether or not similar pooling authority exists with respect to such other lands or interests.
The unit formed by such pooling for an oil well which is not a horizontal completion shall not exceed 80 acres plus a maximum acreage tolerance of 10%, and for a gas
well or a horizontal completion shall not exceed 640 acres plus a maximum acreage tolerance of 10%; provided mat a larger unit may be formed for an oil well or gas
well or horizontal completion to conform to any well spacing or density pattern that may be prescribed or permitted by any governmental authority having jurisdiction
to do so. For the purpose of the foregoing, the terms "oil well" and "gas well" shall have the meanings prescribed by applicable law or the appropriate governmental
authority, or, if no definition is so prescribed, "oil well" means a well with an initial gas-oil ratio of less than 100,000 cubic feet per barrel and "gas well" means a well
with an initial gas-oil ratio of 100,000 cubic feet or more per barrel, based on 24-hour production test conducted under normal producing conditions using standard
lease separator facilities or equivalent testing equipment; and the term "horizontal completion" means an oil well in which the horizontal component of the gross
completion interval in facilities or equivalent testing equipment; and the term "horizontal completion" means an oil well in which the horizontal component of the gross
completion interval in the reservoir exceeds the vertical component thereof. In exercising its pooling rights hereunder, Lessee shall file of record a written declaration
describing the unit and stating the effective date of pooling. Production, drilling or reworking operations anywhere on a unit which includes all or any part of the leased
premises shall be treated as if it were production, drilling or reworking operations on the leased premises, except that the production on which Lessor's royalty is
calculated shall be that proportion of the total unit production which the net acreage covered by this lease and included in the unit bears to the total gross acreage in the
unit, but only to the extent such proportion of unit production is sold by Lessee. Pooling in one or more instances shall not exhaust Lessee's pooling rights hereunder,
and Lessee shall have the recurring right but not the obligation to revise any unit formed hereunder by expansion or contraction or both, either before or after
commencement of production, in order to conform to the well spacing or density pattern prescribed or permitted by the governmental authority having jurisdiction, or to
conform to any productive acreage determination made by such governmental authority. In making such a revision, Lessee shall file of record a written declaration
describing the revised unit and stating the effective date of revision. To the extent any portion of the leased premises is included in or excluded from the unit by virtue
Producers 88 (4-89) — Paid Up
With 640 Acres Pooling Provision
1
of such revision, the proportion of unit production on which royalties are payable hereunder shall thereafter be adjusted accordingly. In the absence of production in
paying quantities from a unit, or upon permanent cessation thereof, Lessee may terminate the unit by filing of record a written declaration describing the unit and stating
the date of termination. Pooling hereunder shall not constitute a cross-conveyance of interests.
7. If Lessor owns less than the full mineral estate in all or any part of the leased premises, the royalties and shut-in royalties payable hereunder for any well on any
part of the leased premises or lands pooled therewith shall be reduced to the proportion that Lessor's interest in such part of the leased premises bears to the full mineral
estate in such part of the leased premises.
8. The interest of either Lessor or Lessee hereunder may be assigned, devised or otherwise transferred in whole or in part, by area and/or by depth or zone, and the
rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall extend to their respective heirs, devisees, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. No change in Lessor's
ownership shall have the effect of reducing the rights or enlarging the obligations of Lessee hereunder, and no change in ownership shall be binding on Lessee until 60
days after Lessee has been furnished the original or certified or duly authenticated copies of the documents establishing such change of ownership to the satisfaction of
Lessee or until Lessor has satisfied the notification requirements contained in Lessee's usual form of division order. In the event of the death of any person entitled to
shut-in royalties hereunder, Lessee may pay or tender such shut-in royalties to the credit of decedent or decedent's estate in the depository designated above. If at any
time two or more persons are entitled to shut-in royalties hereunder, Lessee may pay or tender such shut-in royalties to such persons or to their credit in the depository,
either jointly or separately in proportion to the interest which each owns. If Lessee transfers its interest hereunder in whole or in part Lessee shall be relieved of all
obligations thereafter arising with respect to the transferred interest, and failure of the transferee to satisfy such obligations with respect to the transferred interest shall
not affect the rights of Lessee with respect to any interest not so transferred. If Lessee transfers a full or undivided interest in all or any portion of the area covered by
this lease, the obligation to pay or tender shut-in royalties hereunder shall be divided between Lessee and the transferee in proportion to the net acreage interest in this
lease then held by each.
9. Lessee may, at any time and from time to time, deliver to Lessor or file of record a written release of this lease as to a full or undivided interest in all or any
portion of the area covered by this lease or any depths or zones thereunder, and shall thereupon be relieved of all obligations thereafter arising with respect to the
interest so released. If Lessee releases all or an undivided interest in less than all of the area covered hereby, Lessee's obligation to pay or tender shut-in royalties shall
be proportionately reduced in accordance with the net acreage interest retained hereunder.
10. In exploring for, developing, producing and marketing oil, gas and other substances covered hereby on the leased premises or lands pooled or unitized
herewith, in primary and/or enhanced recovery, Lessee shall have the right of ingress and egress along with the right to conduct such operations on the leased premises
as may be reasonably necessary for such purposes, including but not limited to geophysical operations* the drilling of wells, and the construction and use of roads,
canals, pipelines, tanks, water wells, disposal wells, injection wells, pits, electric and telephone lines, power stations, and other facilities deemed necessary by Lessee to
discover, produce, store, treat and/or transport production. Lessee may use in such operations, free of cost, any oil, gas, water and/or other substances produced on the
leased premises, except water from Lessor's wells or ponds. In exploring, developing, producing or marketing from the leased premises or lands pooled therewith, the
ancillary rights granted herein shall apply (a) to the entire leased premises described in Paragraph 1 above, notwithstanding any partial release or other partial
termination of this lease; and (b) to any other lands in which Lessor now or hereafter has authority to grant such rights in the vicinity of the leased premises or lands
pooled therewith. When requested by Lessor in writing, Lessee shall bury its pipelines below ordinary plow depth on cultivated lands. No well shall be located less
than 200 feet from any house or barn now on the leased premises or other lands used by Lessee hereunder, without Lessor's consent, and Lessee shall pay for damage
caused by its operations to buildings and other improvements now on the leased premises or such other lands, and to commercial timber and growing crops thereon.
Lessee shall have the right at any time to remove its fixtures, equipment and materials, including well casing, from the leased premises or such other lands during the
term of this lease or within a reasonable time thereafter.
11. Lessee's obligations under this lease, whether express or implied, shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental
authority having jurisdiction including restrictions on the drilling and production of wells, and the price of oil, gas, and other substances covered hereby. When drilling,
reworking, production or other operations are prevented or delayed by such laws, rules, regulations or orders, or by inability to obtain necessary permits, equipment,
services, material, water, electricity, fuel, access or easements, or by fire, flood, adverse weather conditions, war, sabotage, rebellion, insurrection, riot, strike or labor
disputes, or by inability to obtain a satisfactory market for production or failure of purchasers or carriers to take or transport such production, or by any other cause not
reasonably within Lessee's control, this lease shall not terminate because of such prevention or delay, and at Lessee's option, the period of such prevention or delay
shall be added to the term hereof, Lessee shall not be liable for breach of any express or implied covenants of this lease when drilling, production or other operations
are so prevented, delayed or interrupted.
12. In the event that Lessor, during the primary term of this lease, receives a bona fide offer which Lessor is willing to accept from any party offering to purchase
from Lessor a lease covering any or all of the substances covered by this lease and covering all or a portion of the land described herein, with the lease becoming
effective upon expimtion of this lease, Lessor hereby agrees to notify Lessee in writing of said offer immediately, including in the notice the name and address of the
offeror, the price offered and all other pertinent terms and conditions of the offer. Lessee, for a period of fifteen days after receipt of the notice, shall have the prior and
preferred right and option to purchase the lease or part thereof or interest therein, covered by the offer at the price and according to the terms and conditions specified in
the offer.
13. No litigation shall be initiated by Lessor with respect to any breach or default by Lessee hereunder, for a period of at least 90 days after Lessor has given
Lessee written notice fully describing the breach or default, and then only if Lessee fails to remedy the breach or default, within such period. In the event the matter is
litigated and there is a final judicial determination that a breach or default has occurred, this lease shall not be forfeited or canceled in whole or in part unless Lessee is
given a reasonable time after said judicial determination to remedy the breach or default and Lessee fails to do so.
14. For the same consideration recited above, Lessor hereby grants, assigns and conveys unto Lessee, its successors and assigns, a perpetual subsurface well bore
easement under and through the leased premises for the placement of well bores (along routes selected by Lessee) from oil or gas wells the surface locations of which
are situated on other tracts of land and which are not intended to develop the leased premises or lands pooled therewith and from which Lessor shall have no right to
royalty or other benefit. Such subsurface well bore easements shall run with the land and survive any termination of this lease.
15. Lessor hereby warrants and agrees to defend title conveyed to Lessee hereunder, and agrees that Lessee at Lessee's option may pay and discharge any taxes,
mortgages or liens existing, levied or assessed on or against the leased premises. If Lessee exercises such option, Lessee shall be subrogated to the rights of the party to
whom payment is made, and, in addition to its other rights, may reimburse itself out of any royalties or shut-n royalties otherwise payable to Lessor hereunder. In the
event Lessee is made aware of any claim inconsistent with Lessor's title, Lessee may suspend the payment of royalties and shut-in royalties hereunder, without interest,
until Lessee has been furnished satisfactory evidence that such claim has been resolved.
16. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this lease, Lessee shall not have any rights to use the surface of the leased premises for drilling or other
operations.
1 7 Lessor, and their successors and assigns, hereby grants Lessee an option to extend the primary term of this lease for an additional period of two i2\ years from the
end of the primary term by paying or tendering to Lessor prior to the end of the primary term the same bonus consideration, terms and conditions as granted for this lease.
DISCLAIMER OF REPRESENTATIONS: Lessor acknowledges that oil and gas lease payments, in the form of rental, bonus and royalty, are market
sensitive and may vary depending on multiple factors and that this Lease is the product of good faith negotiations. Lessor understands that these lease
payments and terms are final and that Lessor entered into this lease without duress or undue influence. Lessor recognizes that lease values could go up or
down depending on market conditions. Lessor acknowledges that no representations or assurances were made in the negotiation of this lease that Lessor
would get the highest price or different terms depending on future market conditions. Neither party to this lease will seek to alter the terms of this transaction
based upon any differing terms which Lessee has or may negotiate with any other lessors/oil and gas owners.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this lease is executed to be effective as of the date first written above, but upon execution shall be binding on the signatory and the
signatory's heirs, devisees, executors* administrators, successors and assigns, whether or not this lease has been executed by all parties hereinabove named as Lessor.
